I currently work as an Information Security Auditor, I have about 10 years IT experience altogether and I am really interested in Forensics. I recently started a distance learning CCE course, it's going well and I am also indulging in reading this forum and others which are dedicated to Computer Forensics.

I would like to know if there are any opportunities out there for volunteering some of my time to work alongside experienced forensic analysts or investigators to gain knowledge and skills in the field.
If anyone knows of an organisation or individual who will be amiable to such an arrangement, please let me know (off the forum, if necessary).

I should be looking for a trainee job, however I have the constraints of children, mortgage, bills, home improvements and all those worldly chains, which forbid me from taking a pay cut to earn a trainee's salary, so therein lies my predicament.
